Flash, CSS, and Firefox problem

Question

Hello.
I have an html document that is built using CSS (div tags,
etc). This CSS calls out to swfs (defined by DIVs) to build the
page.
The layout is very simple, starting with a top navigation bar
swf. There are buttons in this navigation bar that, when rollover,
cause a graphic to unmask and pull down. The graphic is rather
large and forces the top nav bar height to 800. Naturally, this
will eclipse other elements on the page when the graphic crashes
down.
By using a combination of "wmode=transparent" and z-indexing
in the Flash code, I can get the crashdown graphic to appear above
the other elements in the html.
However, and here is the issue, in Firefox the sheer,
necessary height of the top nav bar prevents clicking on any other
buttons in the elements that appear below the top nav bar. It's as
if there is an alpha mask over everything which prevents RollOvers
and general mouse clicking action. Oddly, it works perfectly in
I.E.
Any insight would be vastly appreciated. I've researched what
I could of this topic, but nothing I can find replicates my exact
issue. Thank you.
